Very nice! A few drawbacks

I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a while. I wanted an all-in-one camera but also wanted top quality images. This camera caught my eye when it was introduced. The price is steep, but in my opinion, it turns out to be worth it.
Pros:
Really gorgeous image quality.
A good zoom range.
The interface quickly becomes intuitive and the software seems very well thought out.
Though it’s a tad heavy, it is manageable for an afternoon hike.
For the most part the ergonomics are good.
Cons:
The zoom is kind of clunky. As others have mentioned, I’d rather a faster truly manual zoom with a much shorter turn ratio.
The tripod mount placement makes it such that you cannot articulate the view-screen while the camera is mounted on a tripod. You can see the shot through your smart phone but that takes a bit of doing.
The “Menu” button is placed so that you have to use your left thumb to press it. This may sound like a petty concern, but it is actually very awkward to have to use two thumbs to poke around the camera. Instead of being able to hold the camera in my left hand, I have to shift holding it in my right just to press one button.
The camera seems to really gobble up the battery. I have owned many digital cameras over the years and this is the first time I’ve considered buying a back up battery.
Conclusion:
The first three cons seem pretty unforgivable for the engineers at Sony. They seem like common sense issues that should have been remedied before the camera hit the street. Otherwise it is everything I’d hoped for. The flaws do not come close to ruining the experience for me. Great all-in-one!
What's great about it: Image quality
What's not so great: engineering flaws
I would recommend this to a friend!
